Expected impact “Validated core 5G technologies and architectures in the context of specific vertical use cases and deployment scenarios, from high to low density regions”: The use cases defined and trialed were distributed to all the four facilities and are representative to deliver this expected impact.
Expected impact “Validated core technologies and architecture for differentiated performance requirements originating from eMBB, mMTC, uRLL use cases, notably for end-to-end slicing and virtualisation”: All the facilities have adopted various approaches in the validation of this impact due to delays in standardization and from the different starting points at the project start.
Expected impact “Viable business models for innovative digital use cases tested and validated across a multiplicity of industrial sectors, incl. demonstration of required network resource control from the vertical industry business model perspective”: The Task T1.1 was dedicated to following and contributing to this. The Project has a very active Innovation Management Team contributing to the future prospects. The Deliverable D1.7 extensively coves the topic.
Expected impact “Impactful contributions towards standardisation bodies, involving vertical actors, for what concerns the second phase of 5G standardisation”: The partners are contributing to the following bodies: 3GPP, GSMA, GUTMA, ACJA, CEPT/ECC, ASTM, ETSI, IETF, BNAE, 5G-PPP, ITU-T, FAA, SESAR-JU, NASA, EUROCAE, EASA, ADS-STAN, and ISO.
Expected impact “Validation of relevant KPIs with services linked to specific vertical sectors”: The project has conducted extensive trials, in four phases, being the main means for delivering this expected impact. The main outcomes are reported in Deliverable D4.4.
Expected impact “Europe 5G know how showcasing”: The Deliverables D5.2 and D5.5 detail the activities done.
5G!Drones is expected to have a significant impact on products via its development and trial activities, leading new or updated product lines in a short time horizon. Currently, the industrial partners FRQ, AIR, HEP, INV, ALE, UMS, CAF, DRR, THA, and NOK have products or technologies that are expected to be impacted by the 5G!Drones project. The Deliverables D2.4 D2.5 and D3.3 describe the advances towards reaching the first 5G platform that will be tailored to run UAV services over 5G networks, which are the expected technological impacts.
The project has demonstrated, with trials, services for the public sector with a goal to offer enhanced and timely citizen services leading in effect to better use of public resources. In addition, 5G!Drones has contributed to the development of a positive public opinion on UAV systems.
The project partners are participating in several European level standardization activities as well as influencing regulatory activities by participating in European and global joint activities regarding UAV and UAV traffic management initiatives. The consortium composition includes the whole value chain from different EU countries.
